Flow control is the function that enables the receiving entity to limit the amount or rate of data that is sent by a transmitting entity, helping to avoid network congestion and ensure the efficient use of network resources. Error control is focused on detecting and correcting errors that may arise during data transmission. Transmission control is not a commonly used term related to networking, and data control may refer to various aspects of data management but does not specifically address the limitation of data transmission rates.
